Reliability and durability issues my arse. i've had this phone since about 2006/2007 and it's taken a beaten during that time and it hasnt broken once. in fact it's the only phone ive had that hasn't. even when soaked, just take off the back cover battery and sim, let it dry out overnight and it works again. Though not the fastest phone it does everything you need it too and more, best phone ive ever had

Loved my KRZR I have an HTC inspire now and love it too but if my KRZR still worked I would use it any day..... I had my KRZR for almost 4 years I love my "ghetto" phone.I wish I could use wifi with it though.

I have had one of these phones for three and a half years, it is so easy to use , battery life is not too bad ie has to be charged every 3 days or so, but i have my bluetooth on all the time,it is a robust little phone ,looks aren t everything, but it certainly does the job that i require,

Yes, and doing it again and again... Actually I bought one in 2007 and had it until 2009, when I first got me an i900 Omniba and then gave the KRZR to my girlfriend. Now without a girlfriend and Omnia (doesn't miss either a bit) but still want a good "telephone phone" (Futurama season 6). So I got me a second KRZR K1. This time a black one, as I could'n get my hands on a silvery one (the first one was blue-ish) The phone is nor outstanding or exellent, just plain good and so is it's price...

We have been so lucky We still have ours after 4 years and it is now being a little tempermental. The screen did crack recently, and the software stalled the computer (in fact it did something sinister to it, but not sure what yet as it never recovered!!) Now looking for a replacement with same facilities but salesmen have not been helpful and just want to sell us the latest expensive models - hence the reason we have held onto the phones for so long.

I have never heard so much twaddle about problems in my life! I've had the KRZR K1 since the day it came out on Orange.I've dropped it more than once,even on the kitchen floor,which has stone tiles,it didn't break or go wrong in any way.I can get a signal anywhere at anytime.It's a great stylish phone. In fact I love it so much I've had 2, the latest of which has done more than 2000 hours of calls without a blip.Yes its now a bit worn on the keypad and the rubber backing is starting to peel but that's expected from a phone that's been turned on and used daily for 2 years.But even so I'm not changing it, instead I've spent less than �10 on a whole new housing, that's the chassis,front including screen,back, inner and keypad,all original Motorola parts in a sealed package that can be fitted in 20 minutes.The phone will look like the brand new �300 phone I got in 2008. You may ask why I'm doing this so I'll explain for all the tommyknockers. This phone has one feature that no other has,not Motorola or any other manufacturer:"Voice Command", that's not a recorded voice tag as everyone else has but a facility for you to use you're own voice to control the phones functions.let me explain. If like me you wear a bluetooth earpiece on a regular basis and you should if you drive and use your phone on a regular basis then you need voice commands.not withstanding the dangers of driving with your phone held to your ear like the idiot I followed 40 miles to Manchester the other day,weaving from lane to lane at 90mph plus in a Porsche Carrera,talking away and totally oblivious of all around him and the chaos he was causing,where are the police when you need them.if that man had been caught they'd have thrown the key away and quite right too.if he could afford a Porsche he can certainly afford a bluetooth earpiece, but even then he and everyone else still has a problem. Yes you can answer an incoming call but what happens when you want to call out,you have to look at your phone and find or dial a number. Not so with the KRZR K1. all I need to do to make a call is touch the call button once on my bluetooth earpiece, the rest is easy. The phone responds with "Say a Command", from there i can access my phonebook and ask the phone to dial anyone in there. I can ask for a number from my recently dialled calls, or hear a text message or email, i can even make a voice note.all without taking my hands off the wheel or my eyes off the road. This alone makes this phone the one to have for me, not to mention it's stylish good looks or other features. When my phone is refurbished I'll have another 2 years with this gem.In that time maybe there will be more phones with genuine voice commands.Well done Motorola.

So I've had this phone for about a year now, niceish phone but I have many complaints. First, front screen scratches easy, along with the inside screen. Second, the button on the right side broke off of mine so now it's taped on. Third, my battery dies very easily after a few calls. Fourth, call quality is bad. Finally, the texting on mine keeps switching to MMS when there is no picture in the message, and it does it randomly and I cant cange it back on my own! If you need a phone for just emergencies then this is good, if you need it for everyday use, i would say dont get it.

KRZR is an awful phone. Mine has been very unreliable. Intially, it constantly switched from ring to vibrate mode and then didnt ring at all. Motorola updated some software while it was still under warranty but when returned it didnt ring at all. However,when the phone stopped turning on however, my patience ran out and i returned it to the store. Now 3 mos past 1 year warranty and the supplier refuses to take it back. My suggestion, dont buy it! I give it one star for good looks, zero additional stars for operation.

I loved this phone when I got it 18 months ago, but it is apparent that it is a general fault that it will NOT charge after a while !! I had this happen again when I purchased the same model thinking it was the battery. The phone shop wanted �25 for a repair, so it was cheaper to buy another, which I did (2nd hand), thats when I realized that one wouldnt charge either. Think I'll get a Nokia.

I thought this would be a great phone, but I was wrong! The screen has cracked and I can't even remember dropping it. Another little quirk is that it doesn't receive text messages reliably. It is nothing to do with network coverage as another phone is on the same network and messages come through immediately. It has been known to have a 4 hour delay before a message gets through! Not a good choice of phone and I would never get one again.

I've had this phone for nearly 14 months now. At first the battery life is a bit rubbish but i have found if you leave it on for a couple of hours longer than you should then it starts to go to it's full capacity. The camera is quite good but maybe a bit better. Bought one with no activated photo editing software but couldnt give a stuff cause i edit it on the computer. The glass screen chips well easy but go on the internet and buy a cover for it!! It does a lot of functions and has brilliant sound! I'd buy it again but i wanna try samsung. I'd reccomend it for someone who doesn't lose sleep over a stupid hairline crack!!!!!!!!! x

You can think you're getting a good deal and that this phone isn't a disappointment if you want to if you've had it for a month. I had mine for a little over a year (not a long time in terms of phones) when the speaker that allows you to hear the person you're talking to went out. Granted, I could talk using speaker phone, but who wants to be that idiot walking around yelling on the phone letting the whole world hear their conversation. So, I sent my phone in and they send me a refurbished phone which is basically a KRZR with the fingerprints wiped off and a piece of plastic on the front so you think it's something worth while. I haven't had that thing a month and the internal screen broke (meaning half of it is white the other half snow, no liquid leaking or anything because I didn't drop it) after being in my pocket for maybe 2 hours. Don't buy this phone.

I have to say this phone is junk. I have had mine for a year and a half now and it has stopped working correctly. The camera doesn't work anymore. The display screen freezes a lot and you have to take the battery off to get it to work again. The screen scratches very easily. I can no longer get phone calls on my phone because I cant hear anything out of the ear piece. I say this phone is not worth the money. I have not mistreated my phone at all and this all has been happening to it. Oh yeah also the buttons get scratched from us as well. I DO NOT recommend this phone to anyone. Here I am with a 3 year contract on my phone and I don't have a phone that works. They all say well it's past a year so there is nothing that anyone can do about it. I guess it's normal for their products to become shit after a year of us. I say stay away from this phone if you are intending to really use a phone for the purpose of it being a phone as it will fail you.

I have had my KRZR cell for 15 months and I love it! The only negatives I have found are 1)finger prints show extremely well on the exterior of the phone, and 2) it did not work well after I accidentally washed it with my clothes (surprise, surprise). My KRZR never got a scratch, ding, or crack in my fifteen months of use - even after its trip through the washing machine. Unfortunately, the laundry damaged its ability to pick up my voice very well (I am told it sounds like I am very far away), so I will have to replace it. :(

It's a very nice and stylish phone. Yet, the screen cracks VERY EASILY. The first time I dropped it, (which was about a year after I bought it) the screen cracked. Then a few days later, my cat knocked it on the floor and the screen cracked even more! It looks terrible and I'm glad I have insurance on it. It also doesn't hold a charge very well, and neither does my brother's krzr. His krzr's screen is also cracked and my brother's phone freezes all the time and loses service.

Do NOT, i repeat NOT, buy this useless peice of junk. For starters the front of the phone shows finger marks easily which can get very anoying. It is very delicate and will break easily if dropped. Volume is rubbish. Bluetooth is VERY slow. Takes about 10 minutes sometimes to send songs. or if your lucky 5 minutes but feels like an age. The battery life is terrible. On the first day i had it i had to recharge it the same day. Camera is supposed to be 2 megapixel but is more like VGA. The phone does not come with computer cable which you have to buy yourself but it is extremly hard to get hold of. I had this phone under 5 months and then the phone would blackout and not work and you would have to take the battery out and put it back in again. The only good thing is its a nice design.

good lord dont buy this thing. what a waste of time and money for this phone. i would definitely write Motorola about their product. it takes so long for this phone to bring up a screen after you hit the button. the battery life is bad when getting on the web and downloading things. my next phone will definitely be something other than motorola. if you think there is a problem with the phone, theres not; dont second guess yourself; it is just the sucky phone by Motokrzr k1m .

I've had the phone for about 2 yrs now. I HATE IT!!!!!!!!! The texting is horrible. The battery fails. I'm on my 2nd of of these phones in 2 yrs. They gave me a free phone and i had to spend $30 to get a new battery. The contacts didn't transfer right and you have to get software updated a lot. DON'T GET THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!! thank god my 2 yrs are almost up!!!!

I have currently got a Motorola Krzr, and just tonight the screen died. It went completely white, and will not work. The phone freezes a lot too, and the keypad gets stuck at times. I would not recommend this phone, as it is only stylish on the outside.

GUTTED!!! Got this phone 5 weeks ago, features and look appeared fantastic, however... screen cracked despite never being dropped was just in my pocket! Now the inside screen keeps going white, the whole phone freezes, calls freeze while trying to connect and battery only lasts a couple of hours, even when not being used! Retailer and Motorola refuse to take responsibility and said it's due to impact damage - What impact???? Interesting as the retailer just told me it is now a discontinued line. Still won't pay for repairs or replacement for me despite only getting it 5 weeks ago!

I bought this phone about five weeks ago. Last week I took the phone out my pocket to answer a call everything was fine. Five minutes later I took it back out my pocket and noticed the LCD screen had died. Then the screen inside kept freezing, sometimes going white. Now the battery keeps dying. I took it back to Digital Island/Vodafone said it's caused by impact damage and therefore not covered under the warranty and it will cost me a fortune to fix! The phone has NEVER had impact damage!!! If they are going to get impact damage from being in your pocket they should sell them with a permenant padded case. I am SO cross!!! Apparently the model has now been "discontinued", out of goodwill they should replace my phone with another model!!

I've had my K1 for over a year (replacing a V3) and must have been lucky enough to get a 'good' one... no cracks, no problems. For the features I want a phone for (to make phone calls and send texts... and I happen to like the Motorola text method) it suits me fine and, of course, it looks great - though the rubberised rear has flaked a bit around the logo now, being as it lives, unprotected, in my pocket with keys, change et al. Apart from the great styling/looks the ups for me are MP3 ringtones, speakerphone, quadband, card memory and usefully good web browsing. Downs for me are voice dialling (I normally put numbers in the phone *and* on the SIM so it wants me to tell it which to use each time, even if identical - also it plays the word recognition game and won't let you override with 'abbreviated phrases'), not impressive camera (though like I said, it's not a big deal for me), big problems making it receive images, limited Bluetooth and horror stories if I want ed to sync with Outlook... so I don't try! Also the lack of cases in a style I like is a bit of a pain. Overall though, with a good one like mine, I am a fan!

Despite the other gripes on reliability and durability the main issue by far for me is the signal strength, I've had this as a short term replacement for my Nokia which is in for repair and the K1 very frequently has no signal. It has no signal in my office and other placed where the nokia did have full signal. I constantly get voicemail messages when the phone hasnt rung because NO SIGNAL! Why is this? des it have a smaller internal arial or something??

I do not like this phone at all. The screen has cracks in it. I still find it awkward to use, after using it for about 14months now (counting down til I can get something else). It gets fingerprint grubby so easily it's ridiculous, and that makes the screen hard to see. And the predictive text is so annoying, I have to write the text and then stop and wait whilst it catches up with what I've typed. Battery life is rubbish. I cannot find one thing to praise about this phone. Absolute pile of pants. I'm not the sort of person to worry about phones too much usually but this phone seriously annoys me.

okay, i have had this phone for a while now and i can honestly say it is terrible. the first point to cover is the outer side which has the second screen on. Glass covers this screen and as soon as you drop it you get hairline fractures all over it. Second is the system, it always crashes. Trust me on this, its really not worth getting. STAY AWAY.

It's a pretty phone, it impressed people, I was happy with it...for about 2 weeks. I never dropped it or anything, and within the first 3 weeks, there was a crack on the front glass housing...then another 3 weeks later, just from having it in my front pocket. Also, before the phone was even 6 months old, the battery stopped holding a charge for more than 2 days. A new battery did not solve the problem, nor did a new charger. It was still under Motorola's warranty, so I had it 'fixed', though I just got another broken phone, they sent me a refurb with the same charging issue and a glitchy screen. I gave up and just bought a new phone, stay away from this model.

Well this phone it really depends. I will cover all categories on this phone. Games-One rubbish game sudoku Battery life-Rubbish,have to charge it every day Bluetooth Connection-It is ruubbish because you have to press find me to fond devices and it does NOT work with samsungs MP3 Player-This mp3 player is rubbish because if you go on to multimedia sounds you can only play one song then the phone goes off. But if you go on to Games and Apps you will find motorola audio player but it takes forever to load. Camera-Took me a while to find out how to get on to black and white mode but got there eventually Video-Only records for 21 seconds Voice record-If you do it through multimedia you can do it for 3 mins seven secs but if you go to the side button you can record for one second less than an hour Transferring ti=hings from phone to computer or the other way round- The software does not work

Have had this phone for 2 years now and it works very well. The only problem is I dropped it a week ago and the screen cracked. It still works though. I've gotten familiar with all the features and my only regret is that I didn't purchase the extra memory card as I want to have more music on the phone now. The battery life is great and I love the texting features. I would definitely purchase another one.

I have had this phone for 18 months and I love it. The battery has recently started to lose its charge and I have to charge it every 24 hours. It has a few external scratches now but nothing major. it is a grest size especially for texting and I dont feel like I am going to drop it like i do with slide phones. the flip protects the screen from damage and you dont need to bother with locking it. Its 2mp camera is great for snaps, remember this is a phone if you want to be a photographer get a camera, the music system is also fine. Buy it and try it!!

I happen to own the MOTOKRZR K1 and I love it. I've had it for almost a year now (i bought it September 29th of '07). The glass did crack across the top, but only because i accidentally stepped on the phone. It has been dropped several times onto concrete, asphalt, dirt, etc. The glass front is actuallt what has held up the best. the rubber-like coating over the metal and plastic back have a few nicks in it from the falls, but that's to be expected. I love the menus and they were not that hard to get used to considering my last phone was a Samsung. I've never been able to text as fast on another phone as i can on my KRZR (but in all fairness i don't use other phones very often). The MP3 player DOES support drag and drop file transfer, if I understand the term properly. Simply plug the phone into the computer via USB and access the phone in My Computer. Copy and paste, or drag and drop, the audio files into the audio folder. Viola. However, this is if you have a micr o SD card. Any and all sound files playable by the phone can be used as a ring tone. The Speaker is also fairly decent. especially is the phone is laying on a flat surface, such as a tabletop. The camera is very good, despite not having flash. Put the photos onto a computer and you will notice how the photos aren't a ridiculous itty bitty wallet size (unless you set them to be that way). Also, if you have photo editing software, and there are some good free ones out there, you can lighten up some dark photos for when there was poor lighting. I have to compliment the bluetooth capabilities as well. I have yet to not be able to do something over bluetooth. I can send any file I choose over bluetooth to another phone, computer, etc. I have noticed that LG phones are seriously lacking in BT functionality, since the only thing most LG phones will connect to via BT is a BT headset. I can also establish a dial-up internet connection (the internet speed is faster than dial-up though ) via bluetooth with my computer to fully utilize the internet i pay for through my cell provider. (The mobile browser is horrible, I'll admit that). I've noticed that none of my friends phones have an airplane mode, which is good for saving your battery if you know you won't have a signal. If you choose to, the phone also has a ton of security features. You can lock virtually any application selectively. whether it be messages, photos, calendar, contacts, games, and more. The only thing is that the phone doesn't have a way to make it automatically lock when you close it. You can, however, go though the menus till you get to security and select "lock now" and it'll be locked till you get back and unlock it. I'm probably forgetting several things I like about the phone, but oh well. There is one thing that does slightly irritate. the processor for the phone is rather slow. this is only a problem when i go to access my audio, video, or picture (especially picture) files. It doesn't help that I have about 60 full length songs, about 30 minutes woth of video, and almost every picture ever taken on the phone's camera (about 500+) as well as several large photos that I have put on from a computer. But the processor is not the main issue. The main issue is that when the phone has been trying to access something with lots of info in it, like the My Pictures folder, it tends to freeze up and reboot itself. I have figured out that it i press the center button about once a second for about 15 seconds while it is first trying to load it will not freeze. This is just my phone though. All in all, I absolutely love this phone and I would definitely buy another one (hopefully they will have put a better processor in it) FYI, the KRZR K1m has a different menu setup (what the soft keys do is backwards, like which one is select and which one is cancel), but otherwise there is no difference between the phones. Other than the obvious addition of touch sensors on the front that only work when the phone's MP3 function is in use.
